ABSTRACT
Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) is characterized by discomfort, eye pain, nose problems, tightness in the chest, lethargy, and sore throat. However, there is currently a deficiency of study in this field on bibliometric analytical mapping investigations. This research aimed to identify hospital development strategies for the use of advanced future research. Information for the research is acquired by searching through the database (https://www.scopus.com) with the keyword “Sick Building Syndrome” from a publication starting from 2020 to 2022; there are 108 documents recorded. The data were analyzed with VOS viewer and NVivo 12 Plus software. The findings show that sick building syndrome research studies increased in 2021. The study on sick building syndrome revealed seven dominant theme groups. Indoor environmental quality and sick building syndrome in hospitals, infrastructure development and mobilizing human resources, green and healthy hospitals, and COVID-19 are current research trends. Through bibliometric analysis and network visualization, the researchers summarized recent developments in sick building syndrome research involving healthcare professionals to explain their research trends, boundaries, and popular issues. These results can offer helpful direction for future study and viewpoints in this quickly changing sector.
